Rated 5 out of 5 by DeeRN Worth Every Penny
I just returned from Italy this week. I used this converter the entire time I was there. I used it for my straightener and my hair dryer, my cell phone, Kindle, and camera. I even charged my Kindle and my cell phone at the same time with this. Takes a few minutes to figure out depending on which country you are in, but it won't let you down.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ScottF This converter/adaptor can be trusted
I bring this with me everywhere & always feel safe. Sometimes I may need any additional adapter but this converter works great.

This replaced a converter bought at Radio Shack for $54 which worked only for Europe. My wife found this one at Travel Smith which works in 15 countries for only a few dollars more. RS converter returned . This one worked beautifully for us in 8 countries on the Lover Danube.

Can't wait to use on my next trip. It is compact and cleverly designed. It is much less cumbersome than my old one.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 789Grma Great Purchase
I bought this item when it first came out. I had never used a converter or adapter overseas so I wasn't sure if this would work. I just returned from three of the Great Britain countries as well as the Republic of Ireland. This universal adapter/converter never let me down. I only used it for the smaller electronics such as my Nook and did not try it with a hair dryer or other larger watt appliance. I did, however, test it out in America first. It has a built-in feature that if it overloads, it will automatically turn off. That is what happened in my house because I had two to three electronics plugged in. After that, I only used one electronic device in it but I am sure it would have been fine with at least one other device attached to it. The reason I didn't give this item 5 stars overall is because I never tried it out with a larger device.

Rated 4 out of 5 by ChicagoJo Worked great in South Africa
Had this must-have item in my bag and used it for two straight weeks while in South Africa, and it worked great! Used it to charge my phone and camera (using both plug and USB port) at the same time and had no power issues, but the USB port indicator light stopped working after few days (reason for 4 stars and not 5) although the port was working properly. With the amount of electronics we all travel with these days, I may invest in another one to power additional items. Used with with my 1875 hair dryer; worked just fine. No issues and no worries with this converter. (I did, however, have to buy a specific South African adapter plug. The plug for Africa included did not fit.)
